Class 3

In DT this week, Class Three finished their unit of learning by evaluating their stuffed toys. The children thought about what went well and what they would change next time if they had the chance. They also looked back and reflected on their original plans to see if their outcome closely followed…

To begin our poetry unit, we thought of vocabulary linked to the theme of war. The children in Class Three explored a range of famous war poems, including ‘Dulce et Decorum est’, ‘The Solder’ and ‘How to Die’. We revised the use of metaphorical language in preparation for creating metaphors,…

Class Three have grown as mathematicians this week! We have continued working hard with our multiplication and division unit of learning. Children in Year Five used their wisdom when learning about square numbers whilst Year Six used their wisdom when learning about the order of operations -…

In Science this week, Class Three investigated the effects of friction. We learned that friction is a force that acts on moving objects and it also generates heat! The children created their own marble runs and predicted which material they thought would create the most friction, therefore slowing…

My Year Six pupils have certainly used their perseverance this week in maths! They have learned how to use long division and applied this new learning to answer multi-step worded problems - well done Year Six!

In D&T this half term, we will be learning how to make a stuffed toy. As we are learning about WW2 in History and English, it just so happens that our stuffed toys will resemble that of an evacuee’s during the 1940’s!

In RE this week, Class Three used their wisdom to make links between religion and faith. They placed statements on a continuum that had ‘All Christians Believe’ one end and ‘No Christians Believe’ at the other end. We had some really rich discussions where the children used their newly acquired…

In History this week, we used photographs as our source of evidence to make inferences about the Blitz. The children recalled on their previous learning to support their reasoning and did a fantastic job at discussing what they imagine life would have been like during World War Two.

In RE this week, Class Three learned about how many Christians believe Science and religion are complimentary. We watched an interview of Dr Wiseman, a famous astrophysicist and Christian. The children learned about her beliefs and devised questions that they would ask her if they had the…

In D&T this week, we certainly used our school values, ‘wisdom’, ‘love’ and ‘perseverance’ when applying our newly acquired skill of sewing a blanket stitch! The children really took their time and were fantastic at helping others in need. They were so appreciative of acquiring a new skill and…

In Science this week, Class Three explored the effects of water resistance. We designed and created boats using a streamlined shape to make them travel faster in water by reducing the effect of water resistance. The children then put their boats to the test by timing how long it took to cross the…

In PE, Class Three used their defending skills to gain possession. We recalled previous taught rules such as no forward passes and also the offside rule before putting our skills into practice and playing a 3v2 game using tags!
